Feral cat caretakers

Kindest Cut allows feral cat caretakers and barn cat owners to utilize its service on a limited basis without meeting income or government assistance requirements. All feral cats and barn cats will have an ear notched to signify that they are spayed or neutered. For more information, contact Kindest Cut at 763-489-SPAY (7729).

To help our community cat caretakers keep the population healthy, we offer Feline Leukemia/FIV testing for an additional fee at the time of surgery.
